Jones' gift for rich orchestrations and Bossa Nova's floating yet supple rhythms were bound to meet on record. And with Lalo Schifrin and Latin American percussionists (and Jim Hall on 2 tracks), success was guaranteed. Featured here is the CD debut of the frequently sampled "Soul Bossa Nova," now a favorite theme for the 1998 World Cup. This Verve By Request title also boasts 1 previously unissued bonus track ("A Taste of Honey).", Runningtime: 00:00:00, Labelcode 5579132
